Brandon Half Marathon & 5K 2024

Short review

Join Brandon Running Association for our annual BRANDON HALF MARATHON & 5K event on Sunday, January 9, 2022. Both race courses will run along the Brandon Parkway, with the Half Marathon extending on the Selmon Expressway. The races will start and finish in the Oakfield Business Center located at 1341 Oakfield Drive Brandon, Florida.

With an average temperature in the 50's (Fahrenheit), this new course is mostly flat and fast and is ideal for runners looking to set a personal record or getting in a great training run for an upcoming marathon! The 5k is no very little elevation change. The Half Marathon has some elevation change on the Expressway.
